1 October 2019 Surveillance, Products & Solutions

Pelco has released the Sarix Professional (Pro) Series 3 Fixed IP cameras. Offered in mini-dome, bullet, box, and wedge configurations, these IP cameras deliver a balanced set of features and performance at affordable price points that allow for deployment across a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, including low light and wide dynamic range capabilities with options of 1 MP, 2 MP, 3 MP, and 5 MP resolutions.

Sarix Pro 3 cameras are ideal for industries such as commercial, government, healthcare, and education that demand a robust set of features, superior performance, and image clarity in an easily installed and maintained camera system.

“The Sarix Pro 3 IP Camera Series solves real security video challenges in a broad range of industries by providing more security detail in challenging scenes with excellent low light and wide dynamic range performance,” said Kevin Saldanha, principal product manager for Pelco. “In healthcare and education verticals, where vandalism and bi-directional audio communication is required, this camera series has models with IK10 vandal resistance and built-in microphones that can meet those requirements seamlessly.

“For commercial industry-related needs that require several hundreds to thousands of high-resolution cameras with 24/7 monitoring on a limited budget, the Sarix Pro 3 Series delivers cost-savings with less bandwidth and storage requirements supported by H.265 video encoding and Pelco Smart Compression.”

The Sarix Pro 3 IP series offers these features:

Up to 120dB True Wide Dynamic Range: These cameras can bring out detail in both very bright and dark areas to maximiae visibility and are especially useful in environments that have both dark and light areas in one scene, such as entrances.

Adaptive IR Illumination (Up to 50 m for dome cameras and up to 80 m for bullet cameras). With capabilities that produce detailed images in zero light, the adaptive IR Illuminator avoids overexposure that can hinder detection as objects approach the camera.

One camera can provide wide, yet detailed coverage with resolutions up to 5 MP at 30 FPS. This level of clarity allows customers to view license plate numbers and faces.

Capture fast moving objects in traffic, gaming, banking, and commercial industries: 5 MP camera models can stream 60 FPS for up to 4 MP resolution.

Conserve/minimise bandwidth and storage costs via H.265, the highest video compression standard, and Pelco Smart Compression technology.

Flexible recording and viewing of video with three streams and optimized streams to save on costs. All three independent streams are configurable with video encoding (H.265/H.264/MJPEG), resolution, and frame rate.

Enhanced detection and faster response ability by way of bi-directional audio with audio line-in and line-out. A built-in microphone is also included in the indoor dome camera.

Flexible deployment in challenging environments with IK10, IP66, and IP67 ratings and a wide operating temperature. The cameras’ housings are built using metal construction and select camera models are ideal for areas prone to tampering and vandalism, like correctional facilities, hospitals, and schools. IP66 and IP67-rated models are available for water and dust protection, while environmental models can operate in extreme temperature environments (between –40° to 60°C).

Faster, easier, and lower-cost installation with a single-wire PoE connection. 24 V AC and 12 V DC power options are also available for flexibility in installation.

Integrated and industry standard compliant. These cameras work with VideoXpert on both H.264/H.265 and with Endura and Digital Sentry along with VxToolbox. They are also ONVIF Profile S, G, Q, and T compliant and work with well with third-party video management systems that conform to these ONVIF Profiles.
